Or you can double click on the results listed (only one shown in this example) and scroll down through the window until you see Caption. You can optionally check the Microsoft update catalog website at the following URL, for the latest driver matching the vendor ID string found in wbemtest, simply search for that term as shown in the example belowĬlick Add and then download that driver, test it using drvload and provided that it works you can update your boot wim with the driver found above. Or combine both of the above queries together to search for Ether and Network select * from Win32_PNPEntity where (description like '%ether%') or (description like '%network%') Or Select * from Win32_PNPEntity where description LIKE '%Network%' Tip: If you do not know what network card you have you can find out by using WbemTest, and connecting to root\cimv2 and then use one of the following queries Select * from Win32_PNPEntity where description LIKE '%ether%' Typing Ipconfig will reveal no ip address so you know you’re missing the network drivers, insert a USB key with the drivers you think you need for your new hardware (the tech specs on the Vendors website should reveal what Network card you have). examing the SMSTS.log you’ll probably see lines like Executing command line: So how do you test which driver is actually the right one in WinPE, simply PXE boot the offending hardware and immediately bring up your Command prompt before it gets the chance to restart.

If you find yourself with some new hardware and are trying to PXE boot and you see WinPE downloading then restarting as soon as it loads, 9 times out of ten it’s due to missing NIC (Network) drivers in your boot.wim image, Update: if you want to automate most of this see my post here Missing a NIC driver in your WinPE boot image ? no problem, follow this guide to get things working again in SCCM.
